Xanbus-enabled devices
A Xanbus-enabled device is any product that works on a Xanbus network. Below
are some examples of Xanbus-enabled devices:
• Conext System Control Panel
• Conext XW+ Inverter/Charger
• Conext Automatic Generator Start
• Conext Battery Monitor
• MPPT 60 150 Solar Charge Controller
• MPPT 80 600 Solar Charge Controller
Due to network traffic, the maximum number of Conext XW+ units in a single
Xanbus network should not exceed twelve. The maximum number of Conext
MPPT Solar Charge Controllers in a single Xanbus network should not exceed
twelve.
The combined maximum number of Conext XW+ units and Conext MPPT Solar
Charge Controllers should not exceed twelve.
Xanbus power supply
Xanbus-enabled devices are either power-supplying or power-consuming. The
Xanbus network needs at least one device with a power supply sufficient to run
the entire network.
For example, in a system with an Conext XW+ Inverter/Charger, Conext System
Control Panel, and Conext Automatic Generator Start, the Conext XW+ is a
power-supplying device capable of providing 800 mA at 15 VDC while the two
other devices each consume a maximum of 200 mA for a total maximum
consumption of 400 mA. In this example, the network is properly configured from
a power perspective because the power source is capable of providing more
current than is needed: 800 mA  400 mA.
Note: The total network current supplied by the power-sourcing devices must be
equal to or greater than the total current drawn by the power-consuming devices.
The power supply must be capable of providing 15 VDC/200 mA to each device.
Note: See the specifications for each Xanbus-enabled device to determine how
much power each device consumes or supplies.
